God knows what is hiding in that weak and drunken heart
I guess you kissed the girls and made them cry
those hard-faced queens of misadventure
God knows what is hiding in those weak and sunken eyes
a Fiery throng of muted angels
Giving love and getting nothing back

People help the people
And if your homesick, give me your hand and i'll hold it
People help the people
And nothing will drag you down
Oh and if I had a brain, Oh and if I had a brain
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned all those good hearts away

God knows what is hiding, in that world of little consequence
Behind the tears, inside the lies
A thousand slowly dying sunsets
God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts
I guess the loneliness came knocking
No on needs to be alone, oh save me

People help the people
And if your homesick, give me your hand and i'll hold it
People help the people
Nothing will drag you down
Oh and if I had a brain, Oh and if I had a brain
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned all those good hearts away

People help the people
And if your homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it
People help the people
Nothing will drag you down
Oh and if I had a brain, Oh and if I had a brain
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned all those good hearts away

See the nation through the people's eyes,
See tears that flow like rivers from the skies.
Where it seems there are only borderlines
Where others turn and sigh,
You shall rise (x2)

There's disaster in your past
Boundaries in your path
What do you desire will lift you higher (it's not a question)
You don't have to be extraordinary, just forgiving
Those who never heard your cries,
You shall rise (x2)
And look toward the skies.
Where others fail, you prevail in time.
You shall rise.

(You may never know,
If you lay low, lay low) (x4)
You shall rise (x3)

Sooner or later we must try... Living
(You may never know,
If you lay low, lay low) (x4)

See the nation through the people's eyes,
See tears that flow like rivers from the skies.
Where it seems there are only borderlines
Where others turn and sigh,
You shall rise (x4)

Your pussy's glued to a building on fire
I paint my mind just cuz i'm alive
And if you see me roaming the hilside,
Wont you come along...
You paint your eyes
Mine are in the sky
No wordly word I could say could be golden
The smile on my face isn't always real
But the way you make me feel
Is all that's really real
Your little duck house
Oh, won't you come along...
You paint your eyes...

I'm in the dark
I'm in the hurricane
I'm in the rain
All over your parade

I act like a friend
I feel like a brand new start
But I will break in
And then I will break your heart

Every single thing you say
I'll record, I'll replay
I'm a shadow just behind
I am with you all of the time
I am with you all of the time

I an a shark
I am a razorblade
And I will destroy
All of the friends you made

So please let me in
'Cause i wanna be your friend
I will cling on
To you until the end

Every single thing you say
I'll record, I'll replay
I'm a shadow just behind
I am with you all of the time

You may think that you are free
But you're not, 'cause your with me
I'm a shadow in that line
I am with you all of the time
I am with you all of the time
I am with you all of the time

Every single thing you say
I'll record, I'll replay
I'm a shadow just behind
I am with you all of the time
You may think that you are free
But you're not, 'cause your with me
I'm a shadow in that line
I am with you all of the time

They're all the same in this cynical age
I won't be
Your ball and chain
I risk my reputation
Just to get a room
You always have the reservation
So come lie down beside me (so let me know when you're lonely babe)
(Let me know when you're lonely baby) Beside me
(Let me know when you're lonely babe) Beside me
(Let me know when you're lonely baby) Beside me
